New Podcast Episode: Sibling Philanthropy

In Episode 30 of JFN's "What Gives?" podcast, brother and sister Jonathan Goodman and Shawna Goodman Sone (a JFN board member), of the Morris and Rosalind Goodman Family Foundation, talk to JFN President and CEO Andres Spokoiny about growing up in a philanthropic family, Jewish summer camp, and their shared funding interests.

Listen to it and other recent episodes, including ones with Amy Mandel, Felicia Herman, and Danny Hakim on our website or wherever you get your podcasts. 

Guides for Intelligent Giving

JFN's Guides for Intelligent Giving (previously called Greenbooks) are topical, user-friendly research reports for funders. Some, like our recent guides on participatory grantmaking and impact investing, highlight tools and strategies that are popular in the broader philanthropic community and explore how they are applicable to Jewish funders. Others focus on a challenge facing the Jewish community, map out the background and current status, and detail a wide range of funding approaches to solving the problem. 

All are downloadable and free!
